Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength

"Do you feel that Meng Yu's progress has slowed?"

True Monarch Bai Sheng suddenly asked this.

"Hmm..."

When everyone was about to discuss further, at that moment,

"Meng Yu!"

True Monarch Yu Xia called out suddenly because Meng Yu had appeared, but this time, everyone did not rush to act.

"We admire your courage and strength, and with only one hour left today, how about we shake hands and make peace?"

True Monarch Yu Xia proposed.

Privately, someone had told Meng Yu that they were just worshipers of the Myriad Gold Pavilion, and mere partners, not necessitating such fierce conflicts.

"So, you acknowledge your mistake?"

Meng Yu smiled, effectively silencing True Monarch Yu Xia with his words.

"I..."

She wanted to say more, but Meng Yu shook his head again.

"You do not acknowledge your mistake; you just realize you have gotten yourself into big trouble."

Meng Yu glanced around, feeling the many eyes focused on him.

"Thank you, everyone. Today marks the end moment of my time as mayor. I hope no one intervenes, and allow me my final attempt. Winning is impossible, but I will give it my all."

In between, there were those who contacted Meng Yu, indicating they could help, Bai Hu and the Blood Shadow Ancestor said as well, they don't follow the rules, we don't need to either, how about we help you.

But Meng Yu refused each one of them.

A man must stand up for himself.

Meng Yu remembered news from a long, long time ago.

A boss who owed his workers' wages never paid, until one day, someone no longer reasoned with him but instead stabbed him.

When being stabbed, he cried out, "I was wrong, I was wrong."

He did not feel remorse because of his mistake, but because he realized after the stabbing, that fighting over a few thousand yuan wasn't worth losing his life.

Similarly, these twelve people felt it wasn't worth it.

They perceived Meng Yu's fierceness; this sticky candy was truly terrifying.

"Keep your dignity."

Meng Yu calmly looked at the people in front of him.

Three True Lords, nine Nascent Souls, arrived at his town unreasonably and unethically to attack him.

As for the reasons, from the beginning, the Myriad Gold Pavilion repeatedly sought his life.

"So, are you trying to escalate this feud from online to offline?"

Three Extremes True Monarch, his "Three Extremes," doesn't imply that he possessed three supreme skills, but that his martial skill was supreme, his Magical Treasure was exceptional, and his actions were ruthlessly decisive.

"So, do you want to fight to the death offline with me? Fine then."

Meng Yu looked at Three Extremes True Monarch and retorted.

The tension in the air suddenly heightened at the moment they were about to take action.

"Young Master Meng."

Four cultivators arrived, and Meng Yu frowned.

All were high-stage Golden Core cultivators, but most importantly, they represented the Taiyi Sect, Golden Crow Island, Five Elements Palace, and Three Flowers Sect—these were the groups initiating this Ascension List event.

The Four Great Sects had the most number of people and built real fortresses. They also patrolled routinely, and these four cultivators wore official robes, one of whom even held a Jade Ruyi.

The Jade Ruyi symbolized the rules of the Four Great Sects, and their simultaneous appearance represented their collective stance.

But if they didn't come earlier and didn't show up later, what were they doing now?

Jianghu rules, speak less, don't spout nonsense, especially during a life-and-death duel. If an outsider interrupts, like a Holy Monk or a great hero, advocating not to push too far if enough blood has been spilled, things can easily turn bad.

Many Jianghu figures have died with nowhere to bury because of intervening in matters.

"Young Master Meng, there's really no need for this. Myriad Gold Pavilion was wrong this time, but Young Master Meng, there's no need for you to go this far. Can't everyone just have a nice talk?"

The person from Golden Crow Island held the Jade Ruyi, but the leader was an Elder from the Taiyi Sect, Xue Haoyong.

"And then?"

Meng Yu smiled, looking at this righteous person.

"These three days, although Young Master Meng has been defeated repeatedly, it was all online and you've sustained no injuries. Besides, your combat effectiveness is witnessed by all, even Nascent Souls aren't your match."

Xue Haoyong spoke with a smile. Young people are fiery, so why not affirm his combat effectiveness?

"And then?"

"We all belong to the Human Race. Killing each other only weakens the Human Race's strength. We can all sit down and talk..."

"Stop, don't give me these grandiose claims. When Myriad Gold Pavilion wanted to kill me, they never considered this. Even now, the Ten Directions Demon Subduing Hall still thinks I'm colluding with the Demon Race. My wife is just a rabbit, don't use the greater good of the Human Race to pressure me. Moreover, you dug a pit for me, asked me to take over the town, not caring about me at all. And later, I repeatedly requested to bring some companions here, price negotiable, terms negotiable, but you repeatedly rejected me."

Meng Yu shook his head.

"Young Master Meng, it was all a misunderstanding. We can start over. If you still want to bring your companions up, how about we approve it?"

Xue Haoyong felt relieved internally; he wasn't afraid of Meng Yu making demands, anything was negotiable as long as he was willing to negotiate.

The past few days, Meng Yu's talents not only shocked the Myriad Gold Pavilion, but also the Four Great Sects!

The first day, everyone thought he was punching above his weight.

The second day, could he still hold on?

The third day... we were wrong.

A Divine Soul so powerful was surely destined to become a Nascent Soul or even achieve Divinity Transformation!

The Four Great Sects were potent, but could not guarantee a Divinity Transformation in every generation!
